1.
It takes too long,
Sometimes we get scared
Nevertheless, I sing my song
A song full of joy
And full of resistance
From the Underwater Cabaret
Chorus:
My heart is happy,
My heart is happy
It won’t be long, then we’ll be free
And we’ll go
With courage and haste
Towards the new life
2.
Don’t let grumpiness,
Fear, and pain
Be your master at this time
Whatever happens,
Sing along with this song,
It will heal your sorrow.
Chorus:
My heart is etc.
3.
We are destitute,
We are confined,
Yet our enemy will never win,
Whatever he tries,
It goes wrong,
And soon it will be over for him.
Chorus:
My heart is etc.
4.
At day and night
Preserve your strength,
For one day justice will regain power,
Whatever may come
Until that day,
Sing always with a contented smile.
Chorus:
My heart is happy,
My heart is happy
It won’t be long, then we’ll be free
And we’ll go with courage
And go in haste
Towards the new life.
